hello!

I’M SARA

After over a decade in the classroom, I turned my passion for picture books into The Read Aloud Classroom podcast, where I share practical strategies to help you transform daily read alouds from a time-management struggle into engaging learning moments.

Each week, I'll show you how to make picture books work harder for you - from seamlessly integrating them with your curriculum to managing those "squirrel moments" during story time. Whether you're a primary grade teacher looking to maximize your limited reading time or simply trying to reclaim the joy of sharing stories with your students, I'm here to help you make read alouds the most powerful (and enjoyable!) part of your day.
